Love Me As I Am

Verse 1

Pulled off the highway, engine runnin’ low

Map on the dash, but I still don’t know

Which way to turn, which road is right

I’ve been drivin’ blind through the edge of night

Pre-Chorus

There’s a voice in my heart, quiet but strong

Sayin’ where you’ve been ain’t where you belong

Chorus

I’m standin’ at the cross roads, torn and tired

One path’s ashes, the other’s fire

One leads back to what I’ve known

The other says, “Boy, it’s time you’ve grown”

The wind is whisperin’, the stars just glow

And I’m prayin’ hard at the cross roads

Verse 2

She said, “Love ain’t easy, but it’s worth the fight”

I’ve run from her words most of my life

Now I see her smile in the rearview haze

And I’m wonderin’ if she’d let me stay

Pre-Chorus

I could chase the sun or face the rain

But either way, I won’t be the same

Chorus

I’m standin’ at the cross roads, heart in hand

Caught between a boy and a better man

One road fades into regret

The other’s paved with hope and sweat

The night is quiet, the moon hangs low

And I’m searchin’ deep at the cross roads

Bridge

Every choice is a chance, every mile a prayer

And sometimes you lose just to get somewhere

Final Chorus

I’m leavin’ the cross roads, made my stand

Takin’ the path where I become a man

She’s my future, not my past

Gonna love her slow, gonna make it last

I turned the key, now I know

Why I had to stop at the cross roads
